As the title says.... im pretty excited about it. I currently own a 04 tl 6spd and I cannot tell u how much I love my car.... but I just ran across a 07 type s black with aspec kit, supercharged, custom exhaust, tein ss, navi, 6 speed with 47k miles n many other mods for 24gs... I put a deposit down n im picking it up on saturday. What do u guys think? ___

Here is the link so u guys can awesome pics... http://www.ecarlist.com/showroom/2330/photos/1080669#08

 

I don't know of many people that have done the SC on a type-s. I would ask some questions about how that was done. How long the SC has been on and try to gauge how hard the owner has been on the car. I like the idea of having him or her take you out to see how they drive it.

 

I agree with Hi Speed. The Type S looks good-it's got the Aspec Kit and lighted door sills too. But I would really want to know about the mechanics of the car and be totally satisfied before I drive it off.

 

I have heard of a few Tls that ran way too hot and ended up cracking vital components because the intercoolers were not big enough to handle the supercharger. I would have a reputable boost shop check out the engine before you pull the trigger.

 

Absolutely what everyone said. One wrong thing with the super charger and you're done. On a lighter note, great price for the miles and mods. I'm jelly...

 

Great find if everything check

 

like everyone else said.. def get it checked out.

 

wow great find, that'd be the perfect purchase hope everything goes well!

 

Definitely a great come up. I'm currently shopping for a 3G, great car for the price. I would definitely get it checked out though, SC's can be a pain in the arse at times.

 

of course just like what everyone said, but besides that, its sexy as hell.

 

would be an awesome pick up. looks clean, just hope the SC and engine is in good shape

 

Thanks for the replies. Im definitely gonna take a look over the car. Im a certified tech and I have a diploma in high performance and racing. Looks like the second owner had all this work done and only had the car for about 20k miles. Im driving 6 hrs to get it so im gonna make sure things check out on my book b4 I pull the trigger .....

 

That thing was most likely beat to hell and back.

That dealer is only 10 minutes away from me.

 

Not if I pick it up firsttttt!!!




Jk.. very nice. Very jealous

 

agree with everyone else and its for sure nice but not for me its already done up and not your own creation, thats one way i will never buy a car is already modded because its already been seen with a different owner and you dont know how it was run either......pass

 

Could u check it out since u r so close by? Lol. But seriously .... I don't wanna drive 6hrs and find shit wrong with the car... u know?

 

Wow looks badass, they did a great job detailing it. Hopefully everything works out for u

 

True. But my car was heading in the same direction. I already spent about 3500 this year alone modifying it and its a 04 with125k miles... if anything goes wrong with this car it will give me a reason to tear the engine apart n upgrade the internals. Im not worried about it anyways... I don't think someone would invest close to 10ks into a car to beat the shit out of it... this is how I look at it. If it fucks up it will give me an excuse go to upgrade/modify it

 

Btw I also own a 11 sec civic that I built from the ground up so again im not afraid to do work in the car if it comes down to it....

 

Goodluck with the car I have seen that one online since im always searching my local Chicago area listings. I would have loved to help you out and check it out but Highland Park is waaayyyy too far for me as im down in the southwest suburbs of Plainfield and Highland Park is way north of the city looks like on the lake. Would be a 2 hour drive for me and im in the Chicago area lol.

I purchased my 08 NBP Type S 6mt from out of state and was lucky enough to have a acurazine member check the car out for me. He was great, looked the car over for 45 minutes and told me everything. He said "if I was in the market I would for sure buy this car". I heard those words and never looked back. Bought a one way plane ticket and drove her home. Flew out early in the am and had the car home by dinner time. Was a fun day to say the least!!! Might consider the plane ticket option! Fly into O'hare and have the dealership pick you up. Thats what I did worked great!

Why do I think I've seen this car before?

 

I wish I could find someone to check it out. I would do the sane for a fellow member...

 

Ask in your Region section of the forums.

I'm sure someone will try to help you.

 

u kno the salesman had some fun in that car!

 

not true i spent thousands on my evo and beat the piss out of it on he track...but i also maintained the shit out of it..lol

 

The ebay auction for this car says it has a 'chip'

 

Bigg, I'm so glad you're a tech. It will now be interesting to see what YOU think of the car and the engine. Plus, if something goes wrong, you can work on it yourself.....

 

I just did... thanks!

 

Right!!!

 

I just checked the carfax report. The 2nd owner had the car since 08 and only put 26000 miles in it. That's not bad at all.

 

The car was sold at NE auction 2/11.
Make certain that you find out what has been modified on the car, or if they even know, as fuel delivery, fuel supply, timing, boost etc would all need to be adjusted with that application as you are probably aware. I wouldn't hesitate on the purchase of the car, as long as any problems that arise in the future aren't a surprise to you.

The feeling that somebody that invested that type of money and wouldn't beat on the car is a misnomer as far as I'm concerned, and using the reversal, why would someone spend that much money then sell the car.

Good luck

 

Not that I would know what to "check out" but if you let me know what you want looked at speicifically I can help you out....its about 10 min from where I work on the way home and only about 3 miles out of my way...shoot me a PM and we can chat. I work in Lake Forest so its right down the road.

 

Well I dont think you need to look at anything other than interior and exterior condition so that there are no surprises for him when he shows up. I would check for any blemishes on the car, check for clear coat consistancy to see if any body panels have been re-painted, check that every body panel still has its original vin label...that kind of stuff.

 

That car belonged to a forum member. He had a build thread going on but im too lazy to search. Look it up and you will get a lot of info on it

 

^^ what he said. Try searching him on here and check out his threads, make sure he didn't start threads about problems that came up and everything. Sounds like a great purchase and good luck with the sale, just try doing some homework and should put you in a good direction about it.

 

thanks a LOT!!!! im gonna try to find him...but if any of you guys out there happen to run into his profile plz let me know! thanks!

20 pages long :P

 

I have been reading slowly and found this so far....

Sorry to let you all down, but you're not gonna get to many more pics or vids for a while, cuz the car is going into the body shop to get all the damage from the tree that fell on it repaired. Will post more pics and vids when I get it back. Hopefully I'll have some dyno runs shortly after I get it back.

 

and I digress,,,

 

Sounds like this car has alot of damage....
